A Birthday Fun Fold for Tic Tac Toe Challenge #8

I am excited to share my card for this week’s Tic Tac Toe Challenge. This week’s board was designed by my talented friend, Susan Itell.

It’s all about shapes for me this week. I chose the far left row going down: rectangle, circle, square. I created this fun fold birthday card.

I made a square card. The DSP has circle designs which I used to cut a rectangle to layer on the front.  The sentiment is stamped on a square piece of cardstock cut with the Stitched Shapes Framelits. How easy it that to pick 3 and play along with the Tic Tac Toe Challenge?! I hope you will join the fun!

This fun fold is a double Z fold design.  Here’s how I made it…

I started with 2 strips of cardstock. The base piece is cut at 8 1/2 x 4 1/4 and scored at 2 1/8 and 4 1/4. The top strip with the sentiment is cut at 7 x 2 3/4 and scored at 2 1/8 and 4 1/4. The DSP layers for the base measure 1 7/8 x 4 (on front) and 4 x 4 (back right). The senitments are stamped on a 2 1/2″ square and  1 7/8 x 2 1/2.  The last piece of DSP measures 1 7/8 x 2 1/2.

Apply glue to the back of the smaller strip (behind the DSP section only) and adhere to the center of the DSP on the card base.

Open the smaller Z fold to the right and close the front of the card base with the DSP panel. Apply glue just along the edges as shown and fold to close and adhere.

I added a bow from the 2017-2019 In Color Bitty Bows and some Pearl Basic Jewels.

The DSP from the Eastern Palace Specialty Designer Series Paper coordinates together nicely.  Here’s a view of what the opened card looks like from above. I like this fun fold!
